That Time The Rain Fell Upwards

in poetry •  8 years ago  (edited)

Make it warp
glass thoughts careen on super highways of conversation
where children play
and smile as they are run over

They back teeth into their gums
snide remarks go unforgiven

but the kids still make time to step in front of the cars

morals go tumbling here
in the naked, universal truth
a compass decomposes next to a fire truck

and every plaything comes to life
while the children fracture
